U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Press Release – View Here

We have discovered that some ankle straps on the 2012-2013 Gnu bindings may crack creating an unsafe fall hazard. In conjunction with the CPSC we are voluntarily replacing the ankle straps on all the 2012 2013 models.

Please know that our greatest concern is the safety of our customers, friends and riding partners. We are working diligently to ensure that every potentially affected binding ankle strap is replaced as quickly as possible.

(Anticipated replacement time is November 1, 2013.)

If you have inventory of 2012/2013 GNU bindings, immediately remove from sale until you receive replacement straps.

To identify if your bindings are covered and order replacement straps use the Model Identification and Replacement Order Form.
